Design faster, check formulas instantly, and get confident answers—whether you’re wiring a prototype, laying out a PCB, or verifying lab results. This all-in-one toolkit brings together the most-used electronics calculators so you don’t have to jump between apps or spreadsheets. Core Circuits & Passives • Ohm’s Law (V, I, R, P) • Resistor color code (through-hole & SMD) • Series/parallel & voltage divider • Capacitance & capacitor impedance (RC) • Inductance/reactance/admittance; coil/loop inductance • Battery life estimation • RMS/peak/peak-to-peak voltage • Decibel (dB) converters for power/voltage levels Analog & RF Essentials • Op-amp gain/voltage and inverting resistor calculators • Impedance matching: π-match and T-match • RF power: ratio/units conversion, PAE, N-way power divider • dB/dBm helpers for quick link-budget math These are the same families of tools engineers rely on for day-to-day analog and RF work. PCB & Signal Integrity (EDA) • Microstrip/stripline impedance (single-ended & differential) • Trace width and max current • Crosstalk (edge/broadside), wire/microstrip inductance These capabilities mirror what dedicated PCB toolkits and online impedance calculators provide—now in one place on your phone. Electromechanical & Power • Lenz’s & Faraday’s laws (induced EMF) • Torque conversion and stepper motor helpers • Flyback SMPS building blocks • Heat sink basics & power density • Peak/peak-to-peak/RMS and power conversions These bridge the gap between bench calculations and real hardware choices. Physics & Foundations • Lorentz force, electrical energy, RC time constant, LC tank resonance—handy checks for labs and exams alike. Why this app? • Comprehensive: from Ohm’s Law and resistor codes to PCB impedance and RF power—covering the everyday set engineers actually use. • Built for speed: clean inputs, clear results, and units you expect. • For everyone: students learning the basics, makers iterating quickly, and professionals verifying designs. Perfect for: electronics labs, field service, ham/RF projects, PCB layout checks, audio/dB work, and rapid “sanity-check” calculations during reviews.

RF Calc JP
Read full descriptionHide full description
RF Calc JP is a practical calculator for amateur radio and RF work, for iPhone and iPad. Its signature feature: apply gains and losses (dB) to an absolute power value (W, mW, dBm …) in sequence — follow a signal from the transmitter through cable loss and amplifier gain to the final output, right on the keypad. KEY FEATURE: MIX ABSOLUTE VALUES WITH dB Enter "1 W − 3.8 dB" and it instantly shows 26.2 dBm (= 0.4169 W = 416.9 mW). Working with absolute values (W/dBm) and relative values (dB) in a single line matches how you actually reason about a link. FEATURES • Power / dBm: convert among W / mW / µW / nW / dBm / dBW. Enter one value and see the rest at once (e.g., 1 W = 1000 mW = 30 dBm = 0 dBW). • RF Chain: start from an absolute power, then stack each stage's gain (+dB) or loss (−dB): TX output → cable loss → amplifier gain → final output. See every stage and name each one. • Voltage: convert among V / mV / µV / nV and dBV / dBmV / dBµV. Set an impedance (default 50 Ω; 75/600 Ω or custom) to convert to power/dBm. Choose RMS / Peak / Peak-to-Peak as the reference. • Unit Converter: convert power and voltage units together, showing multiple units at once. • dB Converter: convert between dB and power/voltage ratios (e.g., +3 dB → power ratio ≈1.9953 / voltage ratio ≈1.4125). • VSWR: convert among VSWR, reflection coefficient |Γ|, return loss, reflected power (%), and mismatch loss. • Power Efficiency: transmitter efficiency from DC voltage, current and RF output (e.g., 13.8 V × 20 A with 100 W RF → about 36.2%). Reverse modes give the required DC current or the expected RF output. BUILT RIGHT • All internal math is double precision and is never rounded mid-calculation — rounding happens only for display, so chained calculations stay accurate. • Results appear in several related units at once. Set the number of digits and engineering (SI-prefix) notation in Settings. • Save a calculation history on device to review later. • Each calculator keeps its input when you switch. Attenuator (ATT) correction and large text sizes (Dynamic Type) are supported. WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone building a quick link budget from the rig to the antenna • Moving between voltage and power (dBm) • Converting VSWR and return loss without mental math • RF and electronics work that lives in dB and gain PRIVACY RF Calc JP collects no personal data and does no tracking. It runs fully offline with no account. Your calculation history is stored only on your device. SUBSCRIPTION All features are available via an auto-renewing subscription (¥200/year in Japan; equivalent local pricing elsewhere), with a 7-day free trial. Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid charges. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. A simple, accurate RF calculator for everyday operating and design.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: RF Calc JP at every 6 days against Electrical Engineering Toolkit's every 9 months. Electrical Engineering Toolkit's advantage is iOS requirement (16.2 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
